Great guitar
I played a Johnson dreadnought in highschool and was told that my
fingers would stop hurting eventually. They never did do to the really
high action (distance from fretboard to string). After 2yrs I finally
gave up guitar. Recently I was having a 1/4 life crisis (im 25) and
wanted to learn guitar. I broke out the old johnson from the closet and
played for 2 weeks and again the finger problem. I went to Guitar
Center and talked to a couple of the guys and started playing as many
guitars as i could. I found that every single one was easier on my
fingers than the johnson. I tried out the yamaha and a few others in
this range. The yamaha just felt so much better. The action was perfect
for a newbie but after asking another customer to test it for me (guy
was freaking awesome on a guitar) I realized this one was amazing on
really advanced stuff and you could strum the heck out of it and it
still sounds amazing. Please if you are looking at playing guitar.
PLEASE start with something like this instead of the $99-189 range...
This is a 350 guitar hiding behind a 199 price tag. I know most ppl
just want a guitar now but if you get a cheaper one you will quit
playing because you can only take so much pain.
Pros:
Great Look!
Perfect action for a beginner
Quality instrument for really cheap!
Cons:
Been playing for 3 weeks and I have yet to find one
No wolf notes, nor anything else. Solid Solid instrument
Great low cost instrument
After many years of thinking about it, I finally decided to
actually pick up the guitar so received a hand me down Sigma from the
70's and started plucking away. After a few months of killing my
fingers I figured I would spend a few bucks and get it fixed. In about
30 seconds Billy from B & D Repair (highly recommended if you are
in the Phoenix area) said in all reality this was a money pit that
would never get anywhere.
After a good discussion of what my playing level was and where I
wanted to go with my guitar experience he recommended the Yamaha FG700S
as a top level entry instrument.
Immediately after picking the guitar up my playing improved, mainly
due to the strings actually being close to the fret board as opposed to
a few inches away. I have been playing it pretty solidly every day for
the past 4 months and have really enjoyed this guitar.
Sound stays true during light strumming as well as through hard and
fast pieces. No real distortion of the sound during hard playing. Unit
has a nice full sound as well for a wide variety of songs. Guitar comes
with coated strings, so is nice and easy to play, as well tuning stays
true. I am a bit of a nut so I tune it frequently, but it is not really
needed that frequently as the unit maintains its tuning quite well.
For me this has been the perfect affordable beginner guitar.
Amazing
It's really a amazing guitar! I love it! The sound, shape, natural color, and price,it's perfect!
